Valley stands still; Art. 35A hearing today

The Supreme Court is scheduled to resume hearing a plea seeking removal of Article 35A on Monday.

Srinagar: Life in the Kashmir Valley and the Jammu region’s Chenab valley came to a standstill as a 48-hour-long shutdown began on Sunday morning over the “onslaught” against Article 35A of the Constitution, which guarantees special rights and privileges to the permanent resident of Jammu and Kashmir.

The call for the strike had been issued by an alliance of key separatist leaders and endorsed by several political, social, religious and trade outfits, including the Kashmir Bar Council and civil society groups. The Supreme Court is scheduled to resume hearing a plea seeking removal of Article 35A on Monday.
